I think this is accurate, though it does feel a bit weird that we are iterating over rev.pending, and we clobber and restore it mid-loop. It's correct because of the restore, but I think that's why my gut feeling favored the earlier approach to completely dissociate the iteration variables from "rev.pending" before the loop even starts. That said, it seems like we're spending a lot more time going back and forth on this topic than it is really worth, so I can live with any of the versions. -Peff
